You have an incredible amount of codes, so I would look for a abrasion in the wiring harness.

Testimonial: "Well of the couple of suggestions I rec'd were sorry to say, "not very helpful", basically after my son & I scanned it & it ran so many codes one must now think its only " 1" critical sensor that sets off the rest. I'm saying P0335 CKP sensor is the culprit, Just think about it fer a spell! It precedes the PCM & tells it what to do, so if its shorted or bad it boogers up the whole system. Setting off all kinds-o-signals because nothing is timed now. Remember that the CKP requires a shim now (should a been a recall) if they knew that. At least a .005 shim, sensor should not make contact with the reluctor wheel."

SOURCE: 1998 PONTIAC SUNFIRE ADVISE

Exhaust Gas Recirculation System Is the main problem here. the other code P0118 may be a bad temprature sensor or your thermostate needs to be changed. Last it could be a weak water pump. 

So what is an EGR system and how does it work? EGR stands for Exhaust Gas Recirculation, and as its name implies, this system allows exhaust gasses from your car to be re-circulated into the engine, helping to reduce emissions. These systems are mostly comprised of the EGR valve, a DPFE (Delta Pressure Feedback EGR) sensor, hoses, a vacuum regulator, some vacuum lines, wiring, the computer and the exhaust tube leading to the valve itself. 
The car's wiring can be tested in the normal fashion by looking for broken and lose wire, and all vacuum lines can be checked easily for cracks, leaks and correct routing.
The last thing i would then check is the the EGR valve, EGR vacuum regulator and DPFE sensor (or similar flow sensor).
I hope this helps and good luck

SOURCE: i have a hyundai sonata 2000 it is 2.0 16valve wont start

Firstly, what's a TDC sensor?.. the crank position sensor? If so, on the four (4) cylinder, it's located behind the timing belt cover at the crankshaft.. if it's the 2.5 V6, it's located behind the LH exhaust manifold on the engine block.

SOURCE: volvo xc70 in limp mode 7 fault codes recorded d5

Possible problem with the alternator not putting out enough voltage. I had the same problem with my 2002 XC70, putting in a new alternator fixed it. I used a local mechanic who I found on the car talk web-site. Low Cost Volvo parts can be purchased at FCP Groton.

SOURCE: 97grand am code P0118 replaced ect sensor clear

Engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor is a thermistor screwed into a coolant passage in the cylinder head. Sensor resistance is high when coolant temperature is low and resistance drops when coolant temperature increases. The powertrain control module (PCM) provides a 5 volt reference and a ground to the sensor. The PCM monitors voltage drop to determine coolant temperature. If the ECT reads less than freezing temp. when engine has been running for more than a few minutes, the PCM determines a circuit fault and sets this code. Or if the PCM determines the sensor resistance is out of specs, this code is set.

The reference values given below are measured between ECM terminal 72 and ground...



zjlimited_9.jpg


When measuring input / output voltage be careful not to use ECM ground terminals. The ECM will enter fail safe mode once a malfunction is detected and the MI will light up.

Usually, P0118 is indicative of a bad temperature sensor, but doesn't rule out these other possibilities. If you're unsure of how to diagnose a PCM, do not attempt.

How come why my 98 Dodge ram starts and runs fine but when I switch it off it won't start back up

no ca/truckr model told at all, of many 3 or 4.
no engine told and is and engine problem.

the VIN digit #8 is the engine code

NO model told.
ram 1500 ?, 2500, 3500 or 4000 , and not the Ram van. 1998 (4000 Mexico or Canada)
no engine told one is Diesel;,
3.9 L Magnum V6
5.2 L Magnum V8
5.9 L Magnum V8
5.9 L Cummins turbo-diesel I6<<< ill not cover this ever.
8.0 L Magnum V10

does the starter motor always work correctly every time, called cranking?

we get the fact it does not start. sometimes
but what is not clear, at all, is that the starter always makes this sound called cranking? or fails to do cranking

2010 dodge grand caravan, runs fine but no throttle when outside temperature goes about 50 degree or higher. ETC light flashes, any ideas?

Greetings,

It sounds like there is a problem with the engine's fuel and/or air intake. This might be due to a bad fuel injector and/or fuel pump. You'll want to get this double-checked by a local mechanic to see whether those parts or other related parts need to be changed.

Thank you.

Have a 2001 Chevy S10 4.3 l 4 wheel drive that won't start

well learn how to tests spark, all spark plugs not just 1.
if sparks is bad, and the PCm detects it bad the PCM cuts fuel
so guessing fuel first is dead wrong, and you took a bath in fuel for nothing, wow that is brave.
cranks but will not start and run.
4.3 is old push rod engine, no cams in head,
fuses good and now scan the PCM after cranking for 5 seconds do not turn off key let the tool see there errors now on any dead engine.
sorry you need have scan tool if engine actual is good.

the rules are. in order
  1. engine good, egr not stuck open or CATS melted.
  2. spark tests good on all 6 cylinders. google how and learn
  3. if spare is good we try test fuel next, instant start in a can spray.
  4. if that works we check fuel pressure next. (and last see why?
#1 engine passes a compression test, (a TOOL)

Can anybody help with a Toyota Hiace starting problem?

Have you checked the fuel lines for dents or kinks? When it is not starting check fuel pressure. If OK then check ignition spark. If both ok then check fuel flow at injectors.

If all OK try pouring a spoonful of oil in each cylinder, install the spark plugs and try to start. If it starts OK and after a while it runs rough again, do a compression test on each cylinder.

I have a connector comming from the fuse relay center in the bunch of whires that is not connected and is a red wire which i know is a hot wire what do i do? connector is small and black comming out o

confusing, 1990 , CADDY a TOYOTA Escalade?
CHECK ALL FUSES in BOTH FUSE BOXES. first.

all cars have huge options, and one harness.
so vast numbers of connectors are just there. ignore them.
seems... seems in science is no good, we work in absolutes.
or better valid ranges. (as a pilot says, "in the envelope")
ill try to answer both cars, the relic toy and 2000 CAD


we fix cars by diagnosis.
the first is to tell the helper what is wrong.
it dont start. (right?
and you check both fuse boxes, for blown fuses, right?
do you have spark? y/n? on all spark plugs.? y/n
if you have spark does spray in test fuel start engine
even for 3 seconds>? a key test.
yes, then you have low fuel pressure.
no, bad engine. (or you lied about spark , lol)

now fuel pressure.
the ECU can cut fuel and pump if it sees spark go bad
this prevents crash and burn,.like as seen on TV.
connect a scan tool is there DTC 340,355 being thrown cranking 5 seconds. yes, bad crank/cam sensors. or RPM is 0 cranking
bad ckp. senor.

so, rule 2, the ECU, many not, (READ FSM) run pump
until it is cranking
so you check for 12vdc at the pump cranking,
ok i got 12v
i then check fuel pressure with a real gauge.
it see 0psi, bad pump. see 10 psi bad pump or stuck open fuel
40PSI normal there is a range, but ask.
pressure reg. see 65PSI, fuel pressure reg stuck closes or return line blocked.
no guessing ,simple tests tools $80 total.

so does test fuel run engine> do that.
ever do a tune up?
ever check spark plug tips for wet or dry , after a failed crankup?
dry, no fuel. add some.
wet ,flooding.. crank using super secret WOT.


ok a direct quote from the FSM TOY.
  1. Using a jumper wire, short terminals FP and +B of the check connector.<< this is the diagnostic port.
  2. Turn the ignition switch ON, but do NOT start the car.
  3. The fuel pressure should read 38-44 psi (265-304 kPa).
  4. If the pressure is too high, the pressure regulator is probably defective. If it is too low, check for the following:
    1. Fuel hoses and connections for leaks or restrictions.
    2. Defective fuel pump.
    3. Clogged fuel filter.
    4. Defective pressure regulator.
now the direct quote for CAD FSM.
what engine,there are many?
rule 1 , 2000
ever scan the ECU/PCM for error cranking or must we do this the hardway.
hard:
key off
pressure gauge on rule rail
not started engine.
60-66 psi is normal. (books shows scan too activate)

the FSM shows the leak down test too, at this port.
it also says using CAD scan tool command on the fuel pump.
says tool only allows 2 seconds run time,
but you can check it cranking or cranking then key
off see how fast 60psi drops.
there are many pump tests. and the leak down rate
and injector leak down test.
all this requires a fuel pressure gauge
and reading the tests on alldata.com or buy the full FSM from CAD.

Im sure the CAD only has pump power (12v) cranking and running
and running it drops about 10psi and rises at high altitude.
they wouldn't need

PUMP operation rules are complex.
this is all hard coded in the PCM brain this logic.
most cars are,
if sparks good, and not W.O.T cranking and cmp and CKP are
happen run pump and inject.
if not , cut fuel.
some cars cut the pump after 2 seconds running, its hard coded logic. if spark is bad.
many mech dont know this. but the only variace ive ever seen is
some cars do make fuel pressure. just key on, for 3 seconds.
mostly older cars.
my guess you posted in the Toyota section?
